About

Hi

Welcome to Stable Investor – a resource that helps real people (like you and me) invest sensibly to achieve financial goals, get their personal finances in order, invest profitably in stocks and more importantly, use common sense to achieve what we want in life.

My name is Dev Ashish and I am a SEBI Registered Investment Advisor (What & How can that Help You?).

I am also a private investor working towards my goal of financial independence.

I have been active in Indian stock markets for more than 15 years and I have to admit that Investing is my first second* love. 🙂

* I am married – so you know why I crossed the word ‘first’. Though my wife Aditi still doubts that. 😉 She is a Jewelry Designer and we both are working towards our financial independence (got some coverage in national newspapers for our journey here & here).

As a SEBI Registered fee-only Investment Advisor, I help people put their financial lives in order (how).

Prior to this, I have worked in the banking and energy sector in strategic roles for many years.

I have done MBA from NMIMS Mumbai, one of the premier business schools in India. But don’t worry… I will never preach the nonsense that MBA courses force you to believe in. My MBA has nothing to do with what I write here or what I have learned about investing. 🙂

Most of what I know today is a result of reading and investing for the last 15+ years. When this journey began, I focused primarily on dividend investing. It was (and still is) is my firm belief that when great John D. Rockefeller said “I have ways of making money that you know nothing of”, he was actually referring to dividends. But over the years, my investing framework has matured, and even though the portfolio now follows a Core-Satellite structure, which has a core of stable, safe, proven, financially sound, and boring businesses, and satellite part focuses more on growth investing.

If you want to know more about my investment philosophy, thought process, and other related stuff, then I will direct you to my interviews with Wealthy, Safal Niveshak, and Stock&Ladder.

I am also an engineer and have worked for a few years in an oil company before realizing that finance was my calling. There are 17 more things that very few people know about me. I love traveling and it is a non-negotiable for me. I make it a point to travel to a new place atleast once every 6 months.

I also advise some large and small financial organizations (like AMCs, insurance companies, financial research organizations, Robo-advisories) in India & abroad.

But enough about me.

Why Stable Investor?

---

Stable Investor started in 2011. The site focuses on 3 simple aspects of the Long Term Wealth Creation Strategy – Investing, Personal Financial Planning & Common Sense.

Investing is my passion and that is what I have dedicated my life to. Also, given the current inflation scenario and the absence of any solid, pensionable government social security program, we just cannot ignore investing anymore.

I also have this firm belief that unless we are able to clean up our Personal Finances and put it on the right track, we never achieve our goal of Long-Term Wealth Creation. It is similar to trying to clean your family’s entire house but leaving out your own bedroom. It just cannot work!

As for Common Sense, it is the lubricant of the brain that helps in keeping a sensible head and forces us to keep our feet firmly on the ground. It is an absolute necessity.
